General Information
Term descending neuron of the gnathal ganglion DNg05 ID (Ontology) FBbt:00047597 (Fly Anatomy)
Definition Descending neuron belonging to the DNg group, having a cell body in the lateral subesophageal zone (Namiki et al., 2018; Sterne et al., 2021). This neuron does not cross the midline and descends on the ipsilateral side of the cervical connective (Namiki et al., 2018; Sterne et al., 2021). In the brain, it has dendritic arborization in the gnathal ganglion, saddle and inferior posterior slope (Sterne et al., 2021). In the ventral nerve cord, it fasciculates with the median tract of the dorsal cervical fascicle (Namiki et al., 2018) and has axonal arborization in the neck neuropil and wing neuropil (Sterne et al., 2021). There are up to four of these cells in each hemisphere (Namiki et al., 2018; Sturner et al., 2024).[ FlyBase:FBrf0239335 FlyBase:FBrf0251280 ]
Also Known As "adult knees subesophageal neuron" ; "DNg05" ; "DNut013"
